Editorial Reviews

Review

Dana Pike and Andrew Skinner have produced a fine volume given the current confines of DJD ... their helpful comments attest to the energy that they applied to a rather thankless task. For this the "completists" (DSS research community) owe a debt of thanks. Dead Sea Discoveries Pike and Skinner painstakingly provide transcriptions and comments on all the unidentified fragments that contain at least one complete word or form that could be convincingly restored ... On page after page the editors make precise observations and raise intriguing possibilities ... this is indeed a labour of love, for which all those interested in the fragments from Qumran should be grateful.
